Abstract
One memory cell is formed of a first port access transistor, a second port access transistor and a storage transistor coupled commonly to these access transistors. The first port access transistor is coupled to a first electrode of the storage transistor, and the second port access transistor is coupled to a third electrode of the storage transistor. These first and second port access transistors enter a selected state when first and second port word lines are selected, respectively, to couple corresponding second and third electrodes of the corresponding storage transistor to first and second port bit lines, respectively. A dual-port memory cell of which scalability can follow miniaturization in a process can be provided.
